"England's Long Reformation" brings together a distinguished team
of scholars, who seek to advance beyond current debates concerning
the English Reformation. It puts the religious changes of the 16th
century in longer perspective than has been traditional and
counters the recent emphasis on the popularity of pre-Reformation
Catholicism. Instead the case is argued for an underlying
trajectory of evangelical activity from the 1520s. The contributors
also examine some of the hybrid religious forms which developed and
the propagation of the more uncompromising messages of Puritanism
and Counter-Reformed Catholicism. Taking their cue fom continental
historians, the authors demonstrate the insights which can be
derived by taking a long view of the Reformation in England. The
processes of Protestantization and indeed Christianization were
involved, with each new generation needing to be won over or at
least re-educated. The interaction of religion and society -
particularly as regards the so-called "reformation of manners" - is
another central theme. Ranging from Tudor Norwich to Hanoverian
Bristol, the work collectively breaks down some of the artificial
barriers created by periodization
